That is indeed a very pretty army. 6mm is a great way to get that massed effect without having to sell a kidney to finance its purchase.  ;)

Was that any particular Baccus army deal or was it cobbled together from seperate packs?

Everything in the army was pulled from a Warmaster Army pack sold by Baccus, except... the strips of Numidian Horse, and extra unit of artillery.  All in all, if you plan how you are laying out your bases, you can do a 6mm army for Impetus very cheaply.  I would recommend looking at one of their army packs, and counting out how many strips of each unit type are included.  For my force, I went with 6 strips of infantry per base, 4 strips of cavalry for medium cavalry, 2 strips of cavalry for light cavalry, and around 5 or six models for each unit of skirmishers. 

I plan on doing Skythians next.  Tons and tons of light horse!

Great job  - hope they fight for you as well as they look. The parthians look great also.
for those of you thinking about 6mm go for it. Buy a few sample packs for that Army you always wanted to and  try them.
IMHO  once you get used to the style you can paint both quickly and effectively

Impressively looking army!

Am still waiting for ply-bases from Fenris to get my Basic Impetus (20mm/1:72) Romans going (parcel apparently lost in the mail  :'(  ). Should get a replacement parcel, soon...

Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

Nice armies. Good work. I have found 6mm a pain to paint. I find my eyes go  o_o I admire anyone who can and make them look good.

A well deserved threadcromancy; excellent painting for minis so small!  :)
